What's in your hip flask?

[macinblack]

Not really keen on spirits so I take either methadone or mushroom tea. If it's a special occasion, then a mix of the two. It helps with the alien abduction trauma.

[Bearbonesnorm]

Ooh methadone. For those who struggle to sleep I can recommend a nice methadone and nightnurse cocktail

Anyone else not drink or am I alone in a sea of p1ssheads?

Drinking doesn't men drunk dood

[summittoppler]

Southern comfort or Jack Daniels Honey is my usual tipple from the flask. However seeing as Santa was kind on the bottle front this year it looks like a few trips will be Southern Comfort nights!

I do drink but not usually when I'm bikepacking, the older I get the less inclined I am to indulge for some reason. What happened to TLS guys?

Dieu Donne Merlot or Cabernet

Back together and touring again unfortunately.

[Mpolo]

Calvados or cognac but we did get a taste for 7 year Havana Club a few years

Hip flasks are very compatible with TLS. Compared to beer, they represent a far lighter and smaller volume of fluid for a given number of alcohol units.

Port , Brown Brothers if I can get my hands on it, but ......any old port in a storm as they say will do !

I can't abide spirits but will drink an occasional G&T. I'll drink a bit of red wine and port but mostly prefer beer. There's no way I'm carrying sufficient beer for a piss up on a bivy so camping is a strictly dry affair for me. Being in my 50's I try not to drink too much for a couple of hours before bed anyway.

I don't drink coffee either, the only hot beverage I'll drink is green tea.

I have a thing for making sloe gin, damson vodka, and variations of for bivvy trips, best i have made recently (well made in 2017 and just opened) is plum and sloe vodka, in which i put fennel seeds and black pepper corns, gives it a lovely fruity taste with a little spicy aniseed kick, slides down a bit too well...

Maybe that's finally the solution I've been looking for!

Stu, i've been completely alcohol and caffeine and meat free since new year. Feel absolutely horrible

[slarge]

Nice one Mike, good too see you're using it!

[Mike]

always mate, i love it!

[SeannyD]

Ardbeg, Old Pulteney, last trip had some Daftmills (beautiful dram). Though I've also tried a wee bottle of Jägermeister as a chaser to some Old Jock beer very nice

[sean_iow]

In Mike's case it's what's on the outside of his hip flask that's important

[windjammer]

why would you want a hip flask there to small

[robsmuddygloves]

It may be heresy, but every trip I've been on with my mate Matt has been accompanied with a hip flask full of coffee liqueur. It's become a little tradition for us. Its lovely in the morning under the tarp with a strong coffee as well.

[benp1]

Is it bad to say I have 4 hip flasks? One even has some mini shot glasses included, had some good nights with that!

Mine came with 2 stainless steel shot "glasses" which I always take.
